Cheap Flights to Varda from HK$518

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Varda could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Varda before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
